Tee off的意思

"Tee off" is a term used in golf that means to start playing a hole by hitting the first shot. The term comes from the act of placing the ball on a tee, which is a small peg or stand used to elevate the ball off the ground for the first shot of a hole. The player who is teeing off is typically the player whose turn it is to hit the ball, and they will do so from the tee box, which is the designated area where players are allowed to tee off.

In golf, the order of play is determined by the previous hole's scores, with the player with the lowest score teeing off first on the next hole. The tee shot is considered the most important shot on a hole because it sets up the rest of the player's game. The goal of the tee shot is to hit the ball into the fairway, which is the area of the course between the tee box and the green where the hole is located.

"Tee off" can also be used metaphorically to mean to start or initiate something, especially something new or challenging. For example, "The team teed off on the new project with enthusiasm."
